Add programs to a list.
A background-script (that could be started automatically) checks the list,
terminates Sense as soon as one of the programs starts (highest after 5 seconds) -
and starts Sense automatically when the program is closed.

The programs can be added with the exe-file - or the Startmenu-Shortcut.

If the background-script don't terminates Sense when you starts your navi-program
please delete the default-exe-entry and re-add the exe-file of your navi-program
(some navi-programs have other exe-files on different versions...).

Additional you can add Quicklaunch-Shortcuts, so that you can start a program
without Sense directly from startmenu (this needs no running background-script).
When starting a program with the Quicklaunch-Shortcut Sense will be closed, then the
program starts (and when the program is closed Sense starts automatically).

To start programs (without Sense) with a Startmenu-Shortcut:
1. 'Create Quickstart in Startmenu'
(either select the Startmenu-Shortcut, or the EXE file)
2. Enter name of the new shortcut
3. Close StartProgWOSense
4. Quickstart-Shortcut is now added to the startmenu

When a program should be addes by a Startmenu-Shortcut (to add it to the list -
or to create a Quicklaunch-Shortcut), the program will run once (still with Sense)
and closes automatically after a while (10 seconds) - after that the 'real' process-exe ist registered!

Deinstallation:

Befor deinstallation please deactivate the background-script-autostart -
otherwise there comes an error-message after every softreset!
(In this case please the SPWOS_autostart.lnk in your autostart-folder!)

Created Quicklaunch-Shortcuts are not getting deinstalled - please delete the Quicklaunch-Shortcuts with StartProgWOSense before deinstalling (otherwise you have to delete it manually from Startmenu-folder)!

*) I've tested on VGA and QVGA device: It work's ! Only a little part of the messages won't be shown on the display
(every status message have a footer '(window is closing soon)' - and this isn't shown on VGA-/QVGA-devices).

Changelog:

2.5.1

BugFix: Backgroundscript-Autostart wasn't working on some roms with cooked in StartProgWOSense (because of the installation-path) - fixed

BugFix: StartProgWOSense wasn't working when Sense is called 'Sense' (and not 'HTC Sense') - fixed: If required StartProgWOSense renames 'Sense' to 'HTC Sense' (followed by a softreset)

Languages now included: Czech, Spanish

2.5.2

Limit of list places removed (thanx to arealityfarbetween)

BugFix: When you had two programs of the list running - and have closed one of them - Sense was starting for a short time (and closing again 5 second later) - fixed

Uh... These are Mortscripts. You do realize that anyone with a notepad and just a bit of knowledge can make themselves a pro-version? It seems quite easy...

I don't want to be mean... I just hate Sense that much! Manila/Sense hacks are the sole responsibles of actual homescreen plugins development death/halt (there's a big difference between hacking an HTC app and developing proper software...).

PS: Hope you send part of your profits to Mort (he made this possible... who knows maybe he'll finally update MortScript). That or put a bounty for new features for MortScript using the official SVN as base (Mort's 6th post).

Uh... These are Mortscripts. You do realize that anyone with a notepad and just a bit of knowledge can make themselves a pro-version? It seems quite easy...

Yes I know that - but: I haven't even disabled the pro-functions - I removed them completly from the free-version.
And: I programmed around 100 hours to make this program possible - so I think it's really, really unfair to edit just my finished code ...

And: Of course I will send a part of the profit to Mort - he made all this possible!
